Spirit Wind - Page 2

Having come down from my first vortex tour I decided to check out the Village of Sedona. The salesperson, at the first gift shop that I was drawn to visit picked up on my Boston accent. She said how she had a friend that stayed with her for 4-5 months and that she was from Haverhill, MA. I explained that I was born in Haverhill. I know, I know just a coincidence you may be saying but it only gets better. We spoke at length about directions to other vortex sites and the best places to experience the energy fields.

I was off to Cathedral Rock and its energy vortex. I started up this steep climb with three others; two guys, a girl and me (the massage guy), sounds like a TV show! I quickly made my way up to my spot on this vista. I made a rock alter, did some meditating and then proceeded up even higher on this rock face. Getting to my private place, I smudged the area to cleanse it. Again I felt my spirit wind in an otherwise calm setting. About a half hour later a girl appeared. Victoria proceeded to explain how she up and left Virginia and is on her journey. She was taking a Jin Shin Do course here in AZ, traveling to San Francisco and then coming back to finish the program in another month. She also told me how she lived in my city, Lowell while she worked for a local hospital. She too, then was on her way!

Preparing to leave the rock, I was taking rock/sky pictures when an eagle appeared. I had watched it circling and when I was ready to leave, it too soared down through the valley. Exiting the trailhead, I knelt in the dry creek bed to pick some Sedona stones, when suddenly my gaze was caught by a three sided dreamcatcher hung from a pine bough. Who left it? Why? Was this another's special place? Was it placed there for me or for me to share?

My following day was just as special. I went to two more vortex sites. The Airport Vortex, where upon hiking to "the saddle between the hills" I experienced heart palpitations that dissipated upon feeling thatspirit wind again. The only way I can describe this feeling, is a profound sense of well being and peace, a true grounding. I did some more stone picking and then was off to my last site, Boynton Canyon.

Boynton Canyon was the most desolate location, located at the entrance to Enchantment Resort. I made my way up the trail to the 30 foot high knoll where the energy and spirit wind were extremely powerful. I smudged the area, built a little stone alter and meditated. Preparing to leave this beautiful and entrancing area, I noticed two women that were hiking around the rock outcropping. They would have had to pass me to get to the point that they were at on the hill. However, they didn't. No sooner did I see them, they were gone! I waited to see if they would reappear, to no avail! I could only ask myself if did I really see them. Like at Cathedral Rock, I was taking rock/sky pictures when suddenly one, then two, then a third hawk appeared in my viewfinder. Only this time, no sooner had they appeared. they too, were gone without a trace.

To say that there were some profound experiences over those two days would be an understatement!

Having gone back to Phoenix and my Conference I spent the next 5 days reflecting upon my experience's of Sedona.

I feel that I am open to accepting the powers of the universe. However, the most unsettling part of the 9 day trip was when I reached into my suitcase and touched the bag of "Sedona vortex stones" and to my amazement the bag that held the Bell Rock stones was warm to the touch! I didn't believe it until two others in my group confirmed to me that they too felt the warmth.

Something very special and powerful happened in Sedona that made me more of a believer in the spirituality of the universe.
